Now time for him to crush HHH, take the World Title, then pop Orton's head like a pimple.

In case anyone else was interested here's the rest of the Royal Rumble 2005 results:

* Edge over Shawn Michaels* Undertaker over Heidenreich in a Casket Match* JBL pins Kurt Angle in Triple-Threat Smackdown World Title Match that included The Big Show* HHH over Randy Orton in RAW World Title Match* Batista eliminates John Cena to win the Royal Rumble and main event title match at Wrestlemania 21

"Whatcha gonna do brother, when the 24 inch pythons come running down on you?!"

vomit profusely

Wrestlemania this year has the potential to be good or crappy, really only 2 standout matches in Angle/Michaels and Eddy/Rey. While the 6 man ladder match has some quality talent, it will be a messy spotfest which will be exciting but probably will leave the viewer lacking. Cena/JBL will be a punchfest, good for brawling but not much else. Same goes for HHH/Batista, but the roof will blow if DAVE~! wins. And Austin on Piper's Pit will be fun, just to see if they're both wacked out of their mind. Won't be able to catch the show, but hoping to hear some good stuff come out of it.

Was surprised that they went with both title changes tonight, thought they'd be concerned one would overshadow the other. Was equally surprised to see Edge win the ladder match, they've already done his title chase, what more can they do?

Well WWE did some spring cleaning this week, dropping half a dozen people...

Rhyno - Got axed for making an ass of himself at the hotel during WM21 weekend. Argued with his wife in the lobby and smashed up a potted plant. Not a huge loss, while slightly popular, he just wasn't going to get much of a push unless they brought back the Hardcore title.

Matt Hardy - The biggest of the layoffs, likely got canned for making public the affair between Edge and Lita, which is ridiculous but the E has a strict abhorrence of the net. A shame really, cause he was a solid midcard guy who could work a good match with most wrestlers and would have given a boost to the IC or US title scene.

Paul Bearer - Yeah even after getting buried in concrete, he was still on the payroll. Obviously they needed to trim the fat here.

Jesus - If you blinked you missed him, he was Carlito's bodyguard on Smackdown at the end of 04, but got injured and had to have surgery. Don't know much about him other than it's way lame to fire a guy while he's out with an injury caused while working for you.

Chilly Willy - Former ECW guy, was in OVW on a developmental deal. Likely just wasn't what they were looking for.

Molly Holly - Word is, she asked to be released as she wasn't happy with how her career was going in the E. While I can agree with that, seeing that she shaved herself bald at WMXX in a hot angle, and they NEVER followed up with it. But she has little options in the US, women's wrestling isn't that big and the only possible place here to go would be TNA which has no women's division. She could hit Japan where apparently the women are all the rage.

Now only if they would let go of Heidenreich, Snitsky, Dorkboy and Shawn Michaels, the cleaning could be complete....
